Late Stage Capitalism
A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

The absolutely wild spectacle of a sitting president using his office to film a car commercial aside, Trump is trying to sell EVs to people who he has already convinced to hate EVs. The people who buy Trump stuff think EVs are a liberal plot to turn everyone into gay communists.
He sold beans in the oval office last time he was president. The only surprise is that he didn't do it earlier.
Didn't forget that he also ordered the removal of all chargers from government property. Was that just 2 weeks ago maybe?
I have no doubt they’ve already added Tesla to their list of cognitive dissonances because Daddy Trump told them to. They have no real strong convictions beyond wanting to hurt minorities and loving Trump.
I won't complain if he succeeds. His base is exactly the people hardest to convince to switch. If he can pivot them, I will accept them supporting Musk. Once the foot is in the door, they can start to geek out about motors and batteries and transition to a better EV.
